A database of 300+ organizations working on state capacity, built by the SCE team and visualized three ways: a searchable directory of who does what, an affinity network that scores which orgs share problems and funders, and a Connect directory of the people behind the work. Start with a question and the search will point you to the orgs and people closest to it.
Our first build night put 80+ builders in one room and produced 20 working tools in under two hours. Between events, the Connect directory matches practitioners, researchers, and funders by problem, geography, and what they can offer. A community Slack is next.
The State Capacity Ecosystem Substack publishes field analysis and ships working prototypes alongside the writing. Our events put those ideas in front of a room full of builders and see what holds up.
We turn our events into reusable methods: a sponsor responsibility checklist you can hand to a funder today, an event playbook in progress, and working prototypes from our posts and build nights that anyone can open and use.
